What is Consumer Stock?

The inventory consumption ratio is the ratio of the inventory at the end of the current period to the consumption of the current period, that is, the inventory consumption ratio = inventory at the end of the current period / consumption of the current period. It is an indicator proposed by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization to measure the level of food security. Too high or too low is dangerous. "Inventory-to-consumption ratio" decreases, which means that supply is less than demand, and increases indicate that the supply is sufficient.
